About Brian Bunnin
An experienced, ambitious, and results oriented entrepreneur with a steadfast drive for success, Bunnin became the fourth generation to enter the family business in the automotive industry after nearly two decades in the entertainment business. While attending the prestigious School of Cinema-Television at the University of Southern California, Bunnin planted his roots in entertainment working on The Academy Awards, The Tony Awards and held highly competitive internships at Sony Music Entertainment and United Talent Agency. During his sophomore year at USC, Bunnin joined International Creative Management (aka ICM Partners) where he enjoyed a 15 year tenure representing an eclectic and diverse body of artists from motion pictures, television, music, theater, and global branded entertainment. Bunnin\'s clients were nominated and won prestigious accolades for their achievements garnering Oscar, Emmy, Tony, Grammy, SAG, Golden Globe, DGA and Independent Spirit Awards. With vast experience in brand management, consumer marketing, strategic partnerships, sales, business development, client relations and retention, philanthropy, promotions, production, and the interactive/digital space, it was an organic transition for Bunnin to be mentored by his father, Mr. Leo Bunnin, an award winning and nationally recognized leader in the Automotive Industry with over 50 years of experience. Recent achievements include the Presidents Award from the Culver City Chamber of Commerce and the Edmunds 5-Star Dealer Award for Overall Excellence. Mr. Bunnin was honored again this year with the prestigious honor of General Motors Dealer of the Year bestowed to 50 of dealers nationwide. This is Mr. Bunnin\'s third time to receive this highest recognition from GM (Chevrolet) and has also earned Cadillac\'s Mark of Excellence for the seventh time.
